PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK - 20 August 2009

James Panckhurst (aged 11)

This photo was taken at 07:53 on 12 August 2009 looking down onto my trampoline after a heavy over night dew.
I think the pattern was formed by the water being attracted to the web of the trampoline mat.
Taken with a Sony cyber shot 3.2 mega pixel camera' wrote James.

Johnny Johnson

'Photo was taken in June 2009, walking up Gordon's Pyramid near Mt Arthur.
Camera Nikon D 80' wrote Johnny.

Michael Bailey

Michael wrote 'I just found this image that I took on a trip between Cromwell and Omarama on the 12 June 2009. The fog was rolling off the hills and was spectacular. Further on down the road, we saw a sun dog (shown here). Later that morning, and in the afternoon through the lakes (we were heading to Christchurch), the fog was still around, and visibility was down to less than 100m. Rather weird to see fog hanging around that long. Photo was taken on a Canon EOS 450D on the morning of 12 June 2009.'

Adrian Duffin

Adrian wrote 'I drove up to Mt Egmont (Mt Taranaki) around 09:00-10:00 on 6 July 2009 and light rain or drizzle was coming up south east around the bottom of the mountain. It started to clear as I was driving back to New Plymouth and I was able to get out of the car and take some shots.'
